Conjunct model of cloud ＆ client computing based on multi-agent by XU Xiao-long, CHENG Chun-ling, XIONG Jing-yi

“…In order to utilize the resources of all nodes in networks fully,a novel conjunct model of cloud ＆ client computing based on multi-agent was proposed,dividing the computing environment into three layers in accordance with the type of node and adopting agent to represent the behavior and resource of node to realize more efficient resource sharing and collaboration.The model takes full account of available resources owned by terminal nodes and deploys tasks in an orderly manner to the core nodes,servers and terminal nodes in order to maximize the efficiency of the resource utilization.To assure that tasks could be completed efficiently and reliably,a multi-agent-based collaborative multi-ring management mechanism was also presented,which is particularly suitable for the cloud ＆ client conjunct computing environment and propitious to enhance the stability of resources sharing and nodes cooperation and relieve the load of core nodes.Finally,the construction method of experimental system and application demonstration based on the model was provided for reference.…”

Extensive and every day risk in the Bolivian Chaco: Sources of crisis and disaster by Lilian R. Reyes Pando, Allan Lavell

“…These different categories are employed to demonstrate how the 2009-2011 disasters associated with the drought and freezing that affected the Bolivian Chaco region evolved and were perpetuated in cyclical manner. Additionally, the article demonstrates how preconceived notions of causal factors and post impact needs analysis, associated with large scale, rapid onset hazards, belies an understanding of the needs in slow onset and lifestyle based extensive risk crises. …”

Walking into the wild. A transition to a co-evolutionary landscape by Adriano Dessì

“… This research paper attempts to shift the approach and the possible attitudes of architectural and landscape design towards an interpretation of ecological transition based on the dimension of the ‘wild’, that is, on the possibility that the transformation of places by man contemplates other and the most diverse forms of life, spheres of proximity in which human activities give way to third and fourth natures, which develop their own habitats in an autonomous, dynamic and vital manner. In this reflection, thinking about a ‘landscape of the wild’ means thinking again about the relationship between human and natural habitats, which develops on many levels that cannot be reduced and simplified in the impending phenomenon of ‘rewilding’, ranging from the possibility of giving shape to the spaces of nature, of creating new forms of shared spaces between man and living things, to the conception of minimal architectures necessary to stimulate ancient human practices (such as walking) and which are capable of developing new ecologies.   …”

Imago Dei, Ontological and Relational Interpretations. Introducing Edith Stein to the Debate by Christof Betschart

“…For Edith Stein intrinsic or a priori individuality refers to a unique quality of the person’s soul which unfolds more or less fully in the unity of the person’s body-soul-spirit unity: «the soul is destined for eternal being, and this destination explains why the soul is called upon to be an image of God in a “wholly personal manner.”» (FEB 504 [422]) This ontological approach contributes to a consideration of interpersonal enrichment through love, as a way to personal fulfilment and to complementarity through communion. …”
